约书亚记 5
Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Simplified)
Berean Standard Bible
1约旦河 西 亚摩利 人的诸王和靠海 迦南 人的诸王，听见耶和华在 以色列 人前面使 约旦河 的水干了，等到我们过去，他们的心因 以色列 人的缘故就消化了，不再有胆气。
1Now when all the Amorite kings west of the Jordan and all the Canaanite kings along the coast heard how the LORD had dried up the waters of the Jordan before the Israelites until they had crossed over, their hearts melted and their spirits failed for fear of the Israelites.
2那时，耶和华吩咐 约书亚 说：「你制造火石刀，第二次给 以色列 人行割礼。」
2At that time the LORD said to Joshua, “Make flint knives and circumcise the sons of Israel once again.”
3约书亚 就制造了火石刀，在「除皮山」那里给 以色列 人行割礼。
3So Joshua made flint knives and circumcised the sons of Israel at Gibeath-haaraloth.
4约书亚 行割礼的缘故，是因为从 埃及 出来的众民，就是一切能打仗的男丁，出了 埃及 以后，都死在旷野的路上。
4Now this is why Joshua circumcised them: All those who came out of Egypt—all the men of war—had died on the journey in the wilderness after they had left Egypt.
5因为出来的众民都受过割礼；惟独出 埃及 以后、在旷野的路上所生的众民都没有受过割礼。
5Though all who had come out were circumcised, none of those born in the wilderness on the journey from Egypt had been circumcised.
6以色列 人在旷野走了四十年，等到国民，就是出 埃及 的兵丁，都消灭了，因为他们没有听从耶和华的话。耶和华曾向他们起誓，必不容他们看见耶和华向他们列祖起誓、应许赐给我们的地，就是流奶与蜜之地。
6For the Israelites had wandered in the wilderness forty years, until all the nation’s men of war who had come out of Egypt had died, since they did not obey the LORD. So the LORD vowed never to let them see the land He had sworn to their fathers to give us, a land flowing with milk and honey.
7他们的子孙，就是耶和华所兴起来接续他们的，都没有受过割礼；因为在路上没有给他们行割礼， 约书亚 这才给他们行了。
7And Joshua raised up their sons in their place, and these were the ones he circumcised. Until this time they were still uncircumcised, since they had not been circumcised along the way.
8国民都受完了割礼，就住在营中自己的地方，等到痊愈了。
8And after all the nation had been circumcised, they stayed there in the camp until they were healed.
9耶和华对 约书亚 说：「我今日将 埃及 的羞辱从你们身上滚去了。」因此，那地方名叫 吉甲 ，直到今日。
9Then the LORD said to Joshua, “Today I have rolled away the reproach of Egypt from you.” So that place has been called Gilgal to this day.
10以色列 人在 吉甲 安营。正月十四日晚上，在 耶利哥 的平原守逾越节。
10On the evening of the fourteenth day of the month, while the Israelites were camped at Gilgal on the plains of Jericho, they kept the Passover.
11逾越节的次日，他们就吃了那地的出产；正当那日吃无酵饼和烘的谷。
11The day after the Passover, on that very day, they ate unleavened bread and roasted grain from the produce of the land.
12他们吃了那地的出产，第二日吗哪就止住了， 以色列 人也不再有吗哪了。那一年，他们却吃 迦南 地的出产。
12And the day after they had eaten from the produce of the land, the manna ceased. There was no more manna for the Israelites, so that year they began to eat the crops of the land of Canaan.
13约书亚 靠近 耶利哥 的时候，举目观看，不料，有一个人手里有拔出来的刀，对面站立。 约书亚 到他那里，问他说：「你是帮助我们呢，是帮助我们敌人呢？」
13Now when Joshua was near Jericho, he looked up and saw a man standing in front of him with a drawn sword in His hand. Joshua approached Him and asked, “Are You for us or for our enemies?”
14他回答说：「不是的，我来是要作耶和华军队的元帅。」 约书亚 就俯伏在地下拜，说：「我主有什么话吩咐仆人。」
14“Neither,” He replied. “I have now come as Commander of the LORD’s army.” Then Joshua fell facedown in reverence and asked Him, “What does my Lord have to say to His servant?”
15耶和华军队的元帅对 约书亚 说：「把你脚上的鞋脱下来，因为你所站的地方是圣的。」 约书亚 就照着行了。
15The Commander of the LORD’s army replied, “Take off your sandals, for the place where you are standing is holy.” And Joshua did so.
